[comp.sys.m68k] Development Systems Info Needed

jones@acsu.buffalo.edu (terry a jones) (10/20/90)

	I am planning to do embedded systems development for the Motorola
MC68010 and am looking for some pointers.  The first question that I have
is easy....what emulation systems are out there?  I am currently looking at
a system from Applied MicroSystems.  I am sure that there are others, and
would like to hear what people are using.  The second question is a bit
more difficult.  I would like to code in C as well as assembler, so I am
looking for good sources of cross compilers/assemblers.  Ideally there would
be some level of interaction with the software development platform and the
in circuit emulation system.  It would be nice to do source level debug on
the emulation system.  I have tentative plans of using GCC from the FSF as
the cross compiler.  I only plan to use the front end of the compiler and
not use GAS or LD, the assembler and linker respectively.  Does this approaach
sound reasonable?  If so, what assemblers can you recommend?  If not, what
compilers/assemblers can you recommend?  The host system for development will
be a MicroVAX 3100 running VMS.  E-mail or post, either way.  E-mail is a bit
easier for me though.

		Thanks in advance,
		Terry

You are in a maze of twisty little compiler features, all different.
